Stop the Repression

Vicente Fox Quezada

President of the Mexican Republic

Mexico City, Mexico, D.F

three of our citizens were killed; about 30 have been illegally detained; there is an undetermined number of disappeared people; private homes invaded without legal warrants issued; riot tanks firing acid water on our citizens; helicopters have dropped teargas on the people of Oaxaca which has resisted peacefully but also tenaciously in practically every part of the city of Oaxaca and also in other locations throughout our State.

We give testimony to the inexcusable gap between the promise of a police operation which supposedly was to provide protection to our population and the actual and terrible events which actually occurred. Because of this, in God’s name and in the name of our people victims of long term acts of aggression and suffering at the hands of authoritarian and corrupt powers, we implore: Stop the Repression. There is no moral or ethical justification for these acts, and even less, religious legitimacy in horrible actions brought against us. God’s law, “You shall not Kill”, supercedes any human law directing another to kill.

We would like to point out that in these actions, the Federal government institutions laying the foundations for grassroots resistance social movements of greater magnitude not only in the State of Oaxaca, but also in other parts of the country.

Sincerely,

Atentamente:
